Digital Detox

I'm back from a week in the Alps without WiFi or data. Usually, I'd stay two weeks but I couldn't this year because of my fashion internship. Each time my family goes there for vacation, I disconnect completely. You might have noticed that there were blog posts (the joys of organization and automated publishing), but nothing on Instagram or Facebook. It's essential for me to have a week or two without technology. I'll hike with my family, read (a lot), do some yoga etc. Listening to your body, occupying your days by doing something other than surfing on your phone and refocusing on what's essential are things we don't do enough. A couple of months ago, I spent 24 hours without technology during the school year. I was able to complete the challenge with ease and am tempted to integrate it into my routine once every month. Do you do a digital detox every now and then?

I think it's really good to sometimes log out and spend time away from social media and the internet. We often focus more on our digital lives than the real ones so it's good to remind ourselves what actually matters. These photos are amazing, love your outfit xx

i don't think that i'm in need of a digital detox because i think that i'm already very conscious of my use of technologies. for example i leave my smartphone mute most of the time so i don't need to immediately react to notifications when they arrive on my smartphone. i use many social networks but i don't spend my whole day there. when i went to italy and paris some time ago i mostly only used my phone to take some pictures but the rest of the time it stayed in my bag because there was so much to discover and my phone would have disturbed me in my new experiences.
